Faceless Man Coin

Replica of the iron coin given to Arya Stark in Game of Thrones. Arya Stark receives this coin in the course of her travels and initially discounts it as valueless. As it happens, this is not a coin in the usual sense, but a recognition token for members of the Faceless Man organization, a secretive mafia-like guild of assassins trained to alter their faces at will by both rigorous training and a form of magic. In the story, if someone gives you this coin and says the phrase- “Valar Morghulis”, then you have got to say the proper response- “Valar Dohaeris” in order to save your life. Arya eventually comes to understand the significance of the coin, along with us, as the story progresses.

This piece weighs about 5.6 grams of .9998 pure iron, and is about 26mm in diameter. The obverse features the shadowy form of the Faceless Man. The reverse features the cryptic inscription VALAR MORGULIS, VALAR DOHAERIS, along with an encipherment of that message in the entwined capital letters VDVM.

It is undated like most ancient coins but is thought to have been struck in Valyria sometime in the first century after Aegon. (about 100 years ago as we enter the tale) Earlier versions of this coin have been seen that use the archaic spelling of the word "Morghulis" without the silent "H". The coin you will receive is from the most recent pressing and includes the silent "H" of "MORGHULIS".
